Line the Smoker with Tinfoil

Optional but a great way to keep your 

smoker in top condition. Put a layer on 

the bottom of the base before sprinkling 

the sawdust; the foil can be rolled up and 
disposed of after use. Putting tinfoil on top of the 
sawdust will also help keep it out of the food.

Sprinkle the Sawdust

A handful will usually suffice. Don’t 

overdo the amount you use. It is just a 

light and general covering on the base. 

Place the Tray(s) in the Smoker

The lower tray goes in first then the 

higher tray if you are smoking a larger 

quantity. Replace the lid and the process 

is ready to begin.

Fill the Dishes with Meths and Light

Some trial and error will be needed as you learn 

how much meths is required and how long it will 

burn for. The amount of breeze will also affect the 

burn time and heat so place the smoker away from direct 
wind. As a starting point if the dishes are half full the burn 
time will be around 12 minutes. You can always add more 
meths after it has extinguished and extend the cooking time. 
A BBQ lighter is a great way to safely ignite the meths.

The Smoking Begins ...

Place the smoker over the top of the 

burning meths dishes. Smoke will very 

soon appear, rising from the edges of the 

lid. Don’t lift the lid during the cooking process or 

you will lose the heat and smoke.
